Happy New Year!
Here we are again... a new day, a new year is upon us. Many of us were happy to see 2011 go and have warmly ushered in 2012 and have welcomed her with open arms. It's going to be a good year. I can feel it. This is intuition telling me and my intuition has never let me down when I allow myself to tap into it and listen to it!
As we welcome this new day, this new year, we welcome all the hopes and dreams and possibilities that come with it. It's a new chance to start something new, to make our mark, to find something we're passionate about. I am a total believer in second chances. Here's our opportunity!
I'm not really a fan of making resolutions. I think they set us up to fail. However, I am a fan of setting goals both large and small and this is what I typically do this time of year. I find that I have much more success with setting goals than resolutions.
My goals this year are not much unlike my goals of the past. In many cases they are simply continuances.
Here they are in no order whatsoever.
